[@michaeldahms7006]

The pink flower you found on the ground may have been the floral bract of one of the epiphytic Drymonia species, a Gesneriad.

[@BikeHikeBotany]

Thanks for the info. 😁 Drymonia species was my first guess but I wasn't sure as the others I found online for this region look a bit different but I believe you are right ✌️😁 ❤️ Thanks for watching. Pura vida

@@BikeHikeBotany You should have went with somebody! It is to dangerous!

[@BikeHikeBotany]

Thanks for your concern but it really was not dangerous at all. There are park workers there, the trails are well marked and maintained and it's not an exaggerated distance. I hike alone quite a lot, and always take precautions to ensure I'm safe. Pura vida

tampanti we have orchids whose flower is the size of a pencil tip

[@BikeHikeBotany]

Yes! I did not manage to find those orchids but I mention in the video that some of the smallest species of orchids are found in Tapanti. 😀 I will look again the next time I go there 😁 Pura vida

[@ishfaqmuhammad7666]

Anthurium and Philodendron look alike, how to differentiate between them?

[@BikeHikeBotany]

Great question. The are many ways to tell them apart but here are a few things to look for. Anthuriums and Philodendrons are different genera. They both are self heading but Anthuriums are rather compact, and don't require support. Their aerial roots grow downward. They are also only found wild in the Neo tropics. Philodendrons are often vining. Their aerial roots can grow out and upward. Anthuriums have longer petioles than Philodendrons. Veining patterns are also different. Philos often have lateral veining. ✌️😀

[@angharadllewellyn2192]

Please identify all the fantastic ferns you are walking by.

[@BikeHikeBotany]

Hi. Thanks for watching. I'll try to do so in my future videos. Pura vida
